I love the concrete palm trees and going back in 2 weeks to pick up my plants .I wish I could get more fishes but pond is full darn and can't afford right now to build new one .I am getting a twisted filbert there at 20 dollars that is a steal as I had 1 in NJ and that thing cost me 85 dollars .He has some great plants

Not sure it is in riedsville on highway 14 you can google it but I would wait a week until he gets anothe shipmint in but the again those butterfly koi were really great looking and he had some white ones also you can call 336-342-1998 .His pond plants are not ready yet either and google local couturier plant nursery 3263 NC-14 Reidsville NC 27320 I just added some of these pics to his yahoo also .I got all my fish from him and have never had a problem yet or had one die .

I don't think it's a koi farm but is a koi dealer

 

[sissy]

yeh thats what he is but he calls it farm a after his family farm just included farm as the name he has about 30 stock tanks of fish not just koi .Each tank is about 10 feet long by 2 feet deep and 3 feet wide and when he gets full up he is full up .All the tanks are in a green house.He has about 10 or 15 green houses

plants in the green houses and he lives right next door to it and has a pond in his front yard with a large 3 tier fountain in the middle and amazing to me he has fish in there also and He has the cutest darn metal fairy about 3 feet high next to the pond .Love that fairy .

I may have to go check that out once I find out how far that is from Charlotte. Well, never mind I just looked it up. Too far to go for fish and plants.

Very cool place for you to go sissy to get your plants, fish etc. :alieneyesa:

 

[riparks]

Too far for me too, 190 miles!!

 

[sissy]

Yeh great place but now I have 14 pots of plants not sure what some are but they sure are yukkey unpotted some already and put some of them to soak in my concrete mixing and will wash all the dirt off plus now I have a preformed 200 or 300 gallon pond to clean out and the fish rescue went good and there were 10 fish and not sure how they survived real estate lady asked us to take pond out and take rocks away and fill it in what a job tired and sore now and dirty .She told me the house was foreclosed on 2 years ago .She just got the listing 2 months ago and didn't know what to do .Lucky I have a large tank I bought from tractor supply that was damaged .The top was cracked and now a good home for the time being .Have extra oxygen going in it but they lived through hell so a couple of days more they should be ok .Got 1 pump in there to keep water moving .Will put them in the pond at the other house for now I guess
